Plan Changes in The Weber College Board of Control met Saturday mornings at 7 a.m. last summer getting things ready for the new school year. Among- the business acted upon by the board was a revision of the constitution.

The revision committee consisted of John Hale, Chairman; Lynn Taylor, Jan Clifton and K a t h y Kittock. - Under the present constitution, the duties of elections are given to the president even though the vice president has handled elections for some time. Other clauses destined for revision deal with the duties of the treasurer and business manager, which actually have never been practiced.
